Be it known that we, AUGUST F. BERGHOLZ and CARL O. JonNsoN, citizens oit'the United States, and residents of Jefferson, in the county oi Jefferson and State oi. Wisconsin, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Sanitary Strainers, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which are a part of this specification.

The invention relates to milk strainers, the general object being to make a device of this character consisting of few parts which may be readily taken apart for cleaning.

The several features are fully described and explained in the SPQClfiCMZlOH and shown in the accompanying drawing in which:

F l is a plan view oi? the devicee'rnbodying the invention; and '1' Fig. 2 is a section taken on the line 2--2 of Fig. 1. v i In the drawing the numeral 8 designates a tunnel having a cup shaped portion 4 and a cylindrical portion 5 which is adapted to fit into the neck-of the usual milk can.

Adapted to fit loosely or telescope within the cylindrical portion or neck 50: the funnel is a tube G provided with a bailed handle '7, a beaded edge 8 and an inwardly extending annular flange 8 to which the marginal edges of a screen 9 are secured. i

, The tube 6 is made'to fit loosely withinthe funnel neck so that one or two layers of strainer cloth 10, such as cheese cloth, may be. placed over the lower end 11 of the tube 6 then drawn up around the outside and the whole then inserted intothe upper end I of the neck 5 otthe funnel and firmly held,the beaded edge 8 also limiting the inward movement of the tube with respect as shown in Fig. 2. I e

the scope of the appended claim are within to the funnel With the parts thus in place the screen 9 removes the'coarser' and the cloths 10 the liner sediment irom the milk as it is poured 1nto the canthrough the funnel 3 andwhen the tube 6 is removed the cloth may be taken out and removed and funnel readily cleaned.

We are aware that the details of construction herein shown and described are subject to some modification and change and we therefore desire it to be understood that HAYES me j series.)

both the tube and. the i such changes in construction as come within c n l c the spirlt 0t our mventlon. V

lVhat we clalm as'our lnvention'is:

A strainer, comprising a cylindrical neck] portion and a cup shapedportion connected to the upper edge thereof, an open ended tube of slightly less diameter than the neck portion and telescopingtherein, the upper-" edge portion or said tube being flared outwardly to form a supporting annular bead and then flanged inwardly to provide a screen support, said'flared portion limiting the downwardly movement of the tube with in the neck portion, a screen extending across the upper end 01" the tube" and connected to the lower portion the inwardly flanged I 7O portion'ot thetiiibe, abail connected to the upper portlo'n ot'said' flange, and a straining cloth reniovably stretched across the lower end of the tube and extending upwardly be tween the tube and the neck and between the flared portion and the cuplik'e portion.
